A movement and set of ideas emphasizing Serbian national identity, unity, and self-determination, sometimes advocating political unification of Serb-populated lands.

Serbian Revolution: The uprisings and state-building process that freed Serbia from Ottoman rule between 1804 and 1835. The revolutions created the autonomous Serbian polity around which modern national politics gathered.
Miloš Obrenović I: The Serbian prince who led the Second Serbian Uprising and established the Obrenović dynasty. His negotiated autonomy-building offered a dynastic route to Serbian state formation.
Serbian Orthodox Church: An autocephalous Eastern Orthodox church and a major religious institution among Serbs. Its monasteries, saints, and historical memory have long connected religious belonging with Serbian identity.
Yugoslavism: A political and cultural movement advocating unity among South Slavic peoples. Its shared South Slavic identity could conflict with programs centered on Serbian national unity.

Kosovo Myth: A Serbian national narrative that interprets the 1389 Battle of Kosovo through sacrifice, loss, and moral choice. It turned a medieval defeat into a durable source of national memory and political symbolism.
Croatian nationalism: A movement and set of ideas emphasizing Croatian national identity, autonomy, and statehood. Competing Croatian and Serbian claims over territory and political authority shaped their relations within Yugoslavia.
